LITERARY RMVIEIy. VAZIO, a Tragedy. 11y H. 1-1. MlL:q.v.:, 8. A., Fellow of 13razen Nose Col! ego. We were favoured with the following Critique on this Tragedy during the last theatrical Season, and could not then conveniently insert it, but as the play has been revived, and possesses merit fill shove those frantic compositions which have been brought forward of late years, anti which are cal ctilattd to excite horror and score the itnagina tint} of the audience, rather than to awaken syutpathy and cherish feelings of benevolence,, v e now present to our Readers the observations cat a Gentleman to whom we have often been in ,. 144)10 for productions th a t nave adorned our Cr). Limns on many occasions, and from whom we expect future contributions.' The Tragedy of Fazio, which occupied so mod, of the public attention, was given to the world without having been previously offered to either of the Theatres. The Author, Lowever, in his adeertisement, not only contemplates the pos sibility of its appearance on the stage, bi l ielreenis to look forward to that event with complacency, as he even combats what he conceives to be a prejudice at the Theatres against plays which have first appeared in print. We may hence infer that its adoption upon the stage would be ,a gratification to his feelings, as tending to diffuse more widely that fame which seems to have been his primary object in publishing at and the Managers, in adopting it, might conceive that as the Author did not choose to pay the usual tribute to their censorship, but had at once appealed to the Court of last re- Solt, so neither was'it necessary for them to consult him, as it might be presumed that, having obtained a favourable verdict from the Public, he would neither look nor even wish for an attention which he had not thought. worth the trouble of soliciting. This consideration, however, could only be urged, hair the% play been adopted without ehaoge or curtail- went; the fame of the Author Would then have been sutrered to rest noun the basis which he had himself given to it, and though it would, perhaps, have been more caesi s teet with courtesy to hare consulted him with respect to the represen tation, tau powerful plea of complaint could in that case have been urged against the Managers: but when they took upon themselves toalter and abridge, they then made him responsible for what in fact was not his own; they them were not only dis eourtemts, hut unjust; and the Author could not doothet wise than denounce their conduct, as his has done in the third Edition ; for even, though the changes had been fur the bet ter, it does not alter the case as far as concerns their treat ment of him ; in either supposition it was an infringement of that right which no one could have but himself, of altering his own woe Ic. For this the law may not perhaps give him redress ; Still the public cannot but feel indignant nt the out rage he has received. Tints much premised on the improper treatment of the Author, we now proceed to his Tragedy, Which is founded upon the following sturY • Giraldi Fazio, a young Florentine, having been rejected by a noble Lady named Aldabella, devotes himself to the study of alchemy, and atter a while marries another woman, to schism he is fondly attached. One night, after having cue versed with his wife Bianca in a strain of tender dalliance, hewever, with ensue tender reeollectiens of his former mistress, he hears, sifter she leas parted from him, deep grorm e followed by evict for help ; lie opens the door, and finds near it the old miser Bartok), who had beer' attacked by robbers, and its severely wounded, that be sties a few mi- Votes after his admission in the house. Fazio, not with out soon struggles of conscience, takes his keys and buries tilt body in his garden, Ile t hen sallies faith to take posses. ,if his immense wealth; laings it lately home, and whilst he is gloatieg his eyes with a view of the precieus spoil, he is surprized by his wife Bianca, who thus becomes acquainted with all that lie hail done. FAA . ), now immensely rich, pure ehases palaces and glees to ii feast*, whilst the change is An aided to hit discoven y of the philtempliti's stone, of Which he was known to have heen in search. The Court parasites gin her round him, and the haughty Aldabella now deigns to allure the man whom she had once despised. Fazio is unable to resist her allerements, and his wife, urged on by jealous frenzy, denounces biro,"as is more secrets than hese:ems an honeet men," to the Duke, who, with his Council, is attempting to develope the foul suspicions excited by the meagre coffers and the sudden disappearance of old Bartolo. The holly tieing found where her mysterious words bad in sinuated it to be busied, Fazio is seized- and condemned to d , ath. Bianca, who had only intended to tear him from her civet at the expense ,st his ill-gotten weelth, is horror struck when she flues the dreadful consequences of her rashness ; her love returns in all its force; she strives to soften the hearts of hie judges by loud asseverations of his innocence; she seeks his Court friends, and as a last effort enters the Palace of Aid:in:lla to interest in his favour those fascina tions which had been The cause of his ruin—all in vain.— The Lady, who was that evening to entertain the Duke, hex no leisure to think of the miserable to whom she feed su lately pressed in her arms ; 'and Bianca de spairingly seeks the plisou of her husband, and spends in sad converse with him the few short Injure previous to his execution. The moment arrives —Bianca, with frenzied ener- gy, clings around him; when the signal bell tolls, the dread ful sound etrikes her to stone, and she stands like the statue of despair, inseesilile of her ineshand's parting eudearmeuts ; he at'latt tears himself ;sway. She slowly recovers,, not her tenses, for they are gone fur ever, and !Hastens to the palace of Aldabella, where the revellers :ire-just dispersing after the plumes of the night. Her teppeitrance,` with wild dishe velled heir, alarms the conscience struck Ahlabella, who is condemned to pass the.remainder of her life in listed pe nance by the Dello, to wham the poor maniac, with pathetic ineabereece, tells the tale of her criminality: then, having received his aesurance that lie believes her husband guiltless of the timeier, and will extend his protection to her children, she dive, and the curtain drops. In the Original story, the circumstances are much the same, except that Fazio had Iv attachment before his or4r. riuge, but fails in love with the beautiful daughter of an old female relative of Bianca, who had been taken into their Ito we after they became wealthy; in Consequence of this his wife denounces him—but, struck with remorse, ascends the scaffold after his execution with her children, whom she first 4alis, and tben plunges the dagger into her own heart, Slab ti the fOtHltiatitill 011'Whiell MtLAIAN 1123 erected it snperstrneture; which chews ali the marks of a powerful 4;enius. We will now follow hint through Vaal net, in sue. c't:saion, and notice as we advance the different changes which have been'ioade in the Tragedy as introduced on the shire. The play is opened by }suit) And Mane* in his labinator, talking of love and the transmutation of gold. The tilt na turally- enough leads to the mention of Aldabella, On whom Fazio pronounces a panegyric, which at once serves to chew_ chat he has e spark of lore and his wife a spark of jealousy, which may both be blown into a censmiting flame ; the last as naturally brings them to their miserly neighliour, o l d Bare ( st tol whore Fazio bad.ont night seen front his window e peering over his hoards of wealth ;-the sight of this prepares him the snore easily to submit t o th e temptat i on to whichlie is ahont fo be 'expo'sed, 'for - that - very Bernd° -is Ontated near his door, and dies in his house, congratulating!' himself even in - detail that he had brought off his ducats. The cur. taihnents thus far are injudicious, inasmuch ai they take away so many beauties ; hut in the soliloply which follows, more important changes have leer made. The Author di vides it into tour parts : Fazio's reasoningi over the body be fore he can persuade - himself to take the keys and bury it in his garden; his misgivings in the street, when he has sallied forth with his darin•lanthorn to rifle the treasures of the miser; his remorse when he returns to his own door laden with the spoil; and his raptures when, safe within his house, he contemplates the wealth procured for him by the crimes of others. The Managers have omitted .altogether the scene where he is on his way to old Bartula's, except such parts as would admit of being incorporated into the preceding scow. at the close.of which he drags off the hotly, and we see him no more till he appears with his sack before, his own door.— Of this change, and of many of the omissions, we do not approve; though such lines us these, "In smith, Heath's trot nice stomached to be crammed with such unsavoury offal ;" and "Your carrion breeds Wrest strange and loathsome in• sects," we can part from without any regret. His interview with his wife, who returns wearied with his long delay,,Should have been given at full length: with this the act cluses, Fazio promising tote!! her hew he had obtained the dazzling treastue, within.—The second act opens with a hall in Pazio's palace, where the Court parasites are hegiening to gather round Bien--Falsetto, the flatterer; Dandolo, the king of fashions; and Phiiario, the improvisatore. We cannot find in one hearts to blame the Managers for casting oft King Dandolo; neither Lan we think the Tragedy injured by the Want of Philsrie's lyric: effusion to It4ly. The second scene is in the public walks of Florence; there Fazio first meets with Alduhella, who artfully leads hint to believe she had always bete fondly attached to him, and parts nuns him to go, as she emphatically tells him, to her palace near the Arno: in this scene, the little which is omitted would have been better in its place. Tire third scene is between Fazio and Bianca, in their own residence, when the once fond tins hand SheWS himself so coil and-full of courtly banter, that Bienea charges trim with having seen Aldabella this he de nies not, and they go on from recrimination to recrimina tion, till Bianca tells hint, " if ve do drive the love out of my soul," 4 4- it will make me—l know nut what—dime thee ;" and then, shocked by the horrid word, she fondly kisses him. 'fliese endearment's restore Fazio to his better self; he re solees.to see Aidabella but once inure, and that only to tell her of their fell happiness. This fatal once takes place, in the following scene, where Altiabella so works upon his feeling, by talking of vows and convents for ill-stared love, that he forgets his poor Bianca, partakes of her banquet, and spends the night in her arms. The third act skews Bianca in all the Agonies of jealousy and suspeuce, in consequence of F'azio's absence daring the long, long night—nut a word of her solilnquy should have been omitted from its heginning, till she is interrupted by Piero, a servant, who enters to tell her third Fazio lied been feasting at the Marchese The confirmation of her suepieions drives her almost to frenzy, and whilst she is . pouring Worth' her ravings, Piero tells her that the Duke is 111 Council debating on the (teeth of old Bars tolo—cs sudden project here flashes across her mind, - and thinking of nothing but how to separate Fazio from her hated rival, she hurries away to the Council, where consultations are given in the second scene;, this, from the first entrance of Bianca till the close, when Fazio leads her off with cold and studding hand, teems with beauties of tine first order— every curtailment cries shame on him that made it; but one more than ell the rest : 'tis where Bianca, after hearing the *entente of confiscation, pronounced upon his wealth. rushes forward and exclaims—" Oh ! we'll be poor actin !" 4. ! I forgive the e — we 'll b e poor an d happy"—this shews how far she had Intruded to go; that the telly effect site had contemplate:l by lies. accusation' was to return them to their poverty and their love; the otuission et it destroys the It:meetly of the allele scene, and her following speech beginning, '' Death, death, I unmeant not that," is as harsh as the sudden passage from one key to another would be with out the requisite modulation. In the fourth act we see Fazio and Bianca in the prison; Fazio, reconciled to his fate, and painting the scenes of their past joys, in the hope of dressing Bianca from the anguish of self-reproach ; but her whole Foal is wrapt in the thought of to-morrow, which is. to tear bite from her for ever: say what he will, to-morrow is her constant reply, till Ina suggests the dreadful thought of the futitre disgrace of his children, and the cry that will be raised egitinst them as " the murderer's children." She then exclaims in army, 44 To-morrow will the cry begin, to-mor row;" and grow is speech full of line C o nc e pti on an d true ' pathos, too much of which is cut out, she hastens to seek some deliverer to save her husband. The second scene, in which she strives to settee the Court flatterers is left out eltogether, nor do we muc h regret i ts loss. in the third scene site seeks the palace of Aidabella—of their dialogue nut a word should have been lost: we really 'feel a pity fur that poverty of feeling and taste which could mangle what wits so completely beetitiful. Hence Bianca, in the genuine Tragedy, .despairingly hastens to her home to save her chil dren by death from the disgrace which nwaits them; but softened by their smiles and carekeses, cannot perform her purpose; this,. Except some few parts incorporated into the preceding scene, is omitted with is want of judment which 'proves how needful tine assistance of the Author was to those .who did not think proper to risk it. The fifth act opens with Bianca wandering about the streets in a state of feverish restlessness, till the thought strikes her how swiftly the hour of Pszio's execution is approaching: she then hurries away to the..prison, which is exhibit e d before tint int the second scene (in tine represe.utittion nettle tire first), where are sitting Facie and Pkilario, .the improvisatore, who, so far from for saking Iron iu his misfortmice, hes been soothing him with converse and with music. Fazio, after painting the religious calm that pervaded his *out, takes from tint bosom the pic ture of his wife, that he may entrust it to Philario's charge, and is gazing fondly upon it, when she herself enters. Every word'eow spoken is as precious as tine motnents which luring inns his tate. Biancit at fi rst agitated, Mid accusing herself as his murderess, is at last soothed to so perfecta calm that she says, "she could sleep in, his bosom." Just then the Captain of the Guard enters', and tells the priinner his hour is come. This again rouses her to agony, and. she has twined herself rutted him as if she 'would become a part of himself, when the signet hell tolls-,her grasp instantly re l axes , and she stands turpid. du not pretend to pronounce whether it be possible for the luoscles to support the busty whilst the nerves and the mind have so cool l l leettey lost teeir powers, but the effect is fine, and tonne of the itedience, we are per suaded, question the ptissibility at the nmment, whatever they may think on subsequent reflection. The husband bids farewell to bit unconscious wife, - thanking heaven that she does. not teel his last, last kiss. He gone, she slowly recovers, and, followed by Philariu, quits the prison, cuing in agony, he is not guilty--ye murder and mit execute—.riot ' The scene now changes' to the magnificent apartments of Al dabella, where the frantic Bianca soon thews herself in sad contrast. with the surrounding gaities. We are doubtful whe ther this retribetive scene would not have been better left to - the ire:len-wine; it centaists, however, many striking beau ties ; andhaq►rsgbeard the Duke condemn Aidebella to put on the rigid conveut vows, and promise protection to her children, exclaims— ti Why then 'Cs time !--itis time ! " And thou beli e e est he is nu toorderer--(the Duke bows nssent.) " Thouhe lay me near him—and keep her front its-- It hreeks-elt breaks—it breaks— it is net iron." (She dies.) - Su closes a Tregeily which statute- super•eminent amongst the proituetiuhs of tuudern times. It lute not, nor does it pre teed to have; that t ieid adherence to the unities which is ex• acted on the French stage; - but It has the far superior merit of nervous language, grand conception, and exquisite touches of nature, which characterize the productions of our old Tragediens, and entitles the Author to what *eons to have been the object of his ambition—a conspicuous place amongst the writers of our old It:atonal Dramas. It would hardly be justifiable to chute this view of the Tragedy without paying a wall tribute to th e mer i ts o f those Actors whose admirable performance has theutivii: additional splendour on the coneep s floe of the Author. Mr. Ciliates Kemble gives a perfect de lineation of Fazio, and Miss hniings entirely before es the impassioned Bianca. Her powers Seeer to rise with the necessity for their exertion, anti she is greatest in those parts elivre en Actress of moderate talents .would fail altogether. We pre only surprized, that with such a perfect knewledge of the. part, she should have suffered it he. so mutilated as it lies berm. POLITICAL SKETCHES. (a) No. XIV. / 4 -- •I'-__. I have a strong partiality to the Professional Nobil4; I mean, when they attend to their professions, and are ac quainted with them ; such men deserve the honours of their country, and shall have them. It has been said, that there is not a General Officer in the service capable of commanding ten thousand men, or even half the number, except General Amherst, this Noble man, and one or two more; andthat there are many vv, ho receive the pay of their country, with little more knowledge than will serve for the ceremony of a Parade, and whose abi lities to defend . her would nut exceed those of au active Cor poral. That the Military Profession should not flourish in this . Country, as it does in some others, is. the natural cense - , quence of its establishment. The Constitution, it is said, is against the Soldiery, and ever looks upon them with'a jealous eye. This seems to be a vulgar error, but, like some others of the same nature, must, at present, be flattered • : never theless, I wonder much, that Men of Education, Family, and Ambition, when t hey take upon them the character of Soldiers, should be content to remain so ignorant of its duties. If they would study their profession in a scientific manner; if they ' would bestow upon it that industry and attention without which no science can be obtained, the odium that rests upon it in the minds of the People Would seen he wiped away. It is not the profession of a Soldier, but the ignorance of its professors, that renders it obnoxious. A few such Officers as General Wolfe would make the Military a popular Clia. racter f. I feel a great degree of respect for those Men of Rank and Fortune who qualify themselves to benefit their Country; and no small degree of obligation, when'they have. exerted their talents in so good a cause. Ido nut except the other and in ferior ranks of the People; but I particularise the higher orders, becaue, sorry am I to say it, they are become a very corrupt Body of Men ; and I consider the very beneficial influence which would arise front a virtuous Nobility. When pleasure and dissipation cease to be professions, some more laudable objects would be pursued, to their own Honour, the welfare of their Country, and the good order of the inferior People, who are too much disposed to copy the degeneracy of *This is rather un unexpected opinion ; but I think that I can readily account for it, by reverting to the time when the his Lord and Doctor H —r, then Bishop of N—h, resigned their places of Governor and Preceptot to his pre sent then P-- of If the Reader should nut recollect the circumstances which occasioned and attended •that resignation, I will to the best of my remembrance - give him a faint outline of them. The worthy and highly qualified persons already mentioned :proposed, as a branch of education proper for the Heir Ap parent of Kingdom, whose .wealth and power arise from its trade and commerce, to instruct him folly in the know ledge of them; for which excellent porpose, the Right 'Reverend Pteceptor had desited Doctor Tucker, the present Dean of Gloucester, to compose a treatise upon taxes ' &c. which, if it had been fi n ish e d, wou ld, I d ou bt not, have. been well worth the R— attention. But the malign star, whose blasting influence has been so often experienced by this Kingdom, frowned upon the wise and lull dent design. In short, the goveraing power of the P— D— Court, for what_ reasons I leave oth e rs t o deter ... opposed this this scheme of instruction. It was said, that commerce ,was a hnsinesi of detail beneath the • • • • of this Country; that the P— of W-- was not to be edu cated for the Board of Trade, or the Chancellorship of the Exchequer . , but to be a great and potent Monarch ; that more animating principles of . knowledge should be instilled into the It— breast, than could possibly be extracted by the .most ingenious instructor from thelearning of taxes and re venues ; the Military, a n d its concomitant principles, were said to be more becoming the Character of a great Prince, and mote likely to inspire the mind with that active, manly, and noble spirit which should ever distinguish the Sovereign of the B-- Empire. Flowerer, the noble Lord and learn ed Prelate declared their entire want of conviction to these doctrines; they continued to defend their own plan as the roost congeni.il to the B-- Constitution, and declared their determu►iition not to proceed 'Ton any other. This decla ration not'only met with opposition, but with open reproof, and they immediately resigned their respective employments. .The course of education was now diverted into another chan nel : and, instead of that History of Finance. Commerce, and • Revenue; in short, instead of that intrinsic knowledge of the State, and Kingdom which the work of the Protestant Divine would have afforded; the It— —1 Pupil was presented with the well-known history of the Revolutions of England, by a Di vine of another church, and of an order of men who 'were the professed friends and suppowtets of arbitrary Government. I must also add, that, instead of the intelligence and idea of Government whh:h would have been communicated by the work of the former, it was thought proper for the attainment of better informal hot, and more liberal principles of lotion, to recommend to his studies the votorious Patriarcha of Sir Robert Filmer ; which erroneous work thegreat Locke, 'in order to check the strange prejudices of the t►mes, thought proper to consider and confute in the most rational treatise on Government ever written. This abort hiOory will account, not only for the opinion which gave rise to it, hut fur many events and circumstances of the present • * 4, • *-1f there should a:so appear, at any time, a strong partiality toward s a stan di ng army, or an eager fon dness for those Military raree-shows called Reviews, these and similar propensities may be traced to the same source. t I should be sorry to see the time when such •an event should take pl ace . A s an E ng li shman, and a friend to the Civil Power, I tremble at the idea of an avowed standing army, which, I fear, would soon trample upon it: but, as I du not think that great abilities in our military commanders would for Ward this dangerous measure, I should wish to see military promotions the reward of professional merit. The practice of purchasing commissions depresses the military spirit, damps emulation, takes away that sense of obligation to activity and industry which gratitude inspires towards a Benefactor, and disheartens tinaie from spirited exertions and attentive application, who have not money to purchase that preferment which merit alone so rarely attains. I could name a regiment wherein there is an allowed good officer, who, I believe, was a Lieutenant in it before his present Lieutenant- Colonel was born, and who, if he has not been preferred within these two or three years, is n Lieutenant at this hour. Men, who hare the fortune to purchase rank; think not of acquiring it by any other means. The Army is a genteel profession, produces good interest for money laid out, and, in general, gives ample indulgence to a lazy disposition ;—all of which would help to preserve it in some figure, though there were .not a spark of military spirit in the Nation. I have been informed 'that Lord Cornwallis, When he was appointed to the command of his present regiment, requested Majesty, that the Corps from which he was separated might rise in a regular gradation of , preferment. Whether this request w as grat ifi e d , or, if it was,. whether it is now re membered, I cannot tell ; but it certainly diddr-great honour to the Noble Lord. who made it, - and chewed that zeal for the service which he has since manifested On many trying oc casions. Notwithstanding the powerful partiality which may be.en teitained- in some breasts for the military power, it has not, as yet, been thought prudent to avow it : even - the scheme of erecting barracks, and thus forming the ground-work of se paration between the Army and the People, has hitherto been a matter only of secret wish and private speculation. This surely is an pia of inconsistencies t or, considering such an evident partiality to the military . profession, I should he surprised that Lard Effingham, who is the only Nobleman, I believe, in this reign, whom a military spirit has led to the Camps of Foreign Nations, was not permitted, as f am well informed, to retail, his rank, when he resigned Ins commis sion, which fin had obtained by purchase. But wherefore do I mention in cons i stency ? Th is fact only proves, that, in the Waits of some men, the most favourite propensities mast yield to private resentment.
